Guest Stujoe Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 (edited) War Nickel 1942-1945 1943S MS64 obv by UGotaHaveArt, on Flickr 1943S MS64 rev by UGotaHaveArt, on Flickr During WWII, nickel needed for the war effort. During this period from 1942-1945, nickel was removed from our nickels and they were made from an alloy of copper (56%), silver (35%) and manganese (9%). A large mint mark was placed on the reverse to signify the metal change.The above war nickel is toned.
